Too real for the radio, Z-Ro continues to command respect from peers and critics. Somehow, he still found time to release 2006's excellent I'm Still Livin'.
Instead, he was arrested various times for various offenses, and spent much of 2004-'06 in prison. When Houston hip-hop blew up in 2005, Z-Ro failed to capitalize. All of them were well regarded, both by critics and Southern hip-hop audiences, but were overlooked by the general public. Prince's infamous H-Town indie label Rap-A-Lot and released seven albums over the next five years, both solo and as a member of the group Guerilla Maab. In the tradition of Houston hip-hop pioneers Scarface and UGK, the album was dark and violent. Word quickly spread of Z-Ro's prowess, and in 1998 the emcee released his debut, Look What You Did to Me. Z-Ro's deep, laconic voice was a perfect foil for the DJ's approach: slowing down beats to a snail's pace to simulate the buzz from a codeine high.

Raised in the slums of Southern Houston, Z-Ro joined a gang following the death of his mother and spent his early years hustling.
